Thank goodness GSU got them, for this is usually the level of team the CAA gets in the first round. I didn't realize App State was in the CAA the last two years. Seeded JMU getting Wofford in '08 and Seeded Richmond getting Elon last year wasn't exactly doing them favors. Let's face it, everyone wa...

Ball State might be ranked behind 44 FCS teams this year, but SC State isn't one of them.

COACH OF THE YEAR Joe Trainer, Rhode Island, Two Seasons :thumb: No arguments here! He pretty much worked a miracle this season. None here either, though I wonder how Latrell Scott fared and if the final game stinker affected the vote. UR was picked by some to finish 9th of 10 teams before all of t...

Not that I give a $#!+ about Sagarin, but I do find it odd that Richmond lost to #1 #2 #3 and #6, and is ranked below three teams they beat who all have identical 6-5 records: #14, #17, #22.

OK, then I guess I should have gone with the politically correct answer: ECB

There you go.

ODU is better than MS Valley St. 10-1 is better than 9-2. Jacksonville has a better resume.

The Tribe is 3-0 against playoff participants.
Can anyone top that?

NDSU was the last team in. SCSU was #19.

So, there really are quality losses. What do you think makes the CAA so great? :lol: JMU could of made the playoffs at 6-5 and NO ONE would of had a problem with it. :nod: Another ridiculous strawman post. I would have a huge problem with it, as would many of the JMU fans on this board. 6-5 is a li...

What helped SCSU this year? All of the MEAC's "playoff success?"

University of Richmond Spiders' 2011 schedule: Sept. 3 @ Duke Sept. 10 Wagner Sept. 17 V.M.I. Sept. 24 New Hammpshire Oct. 1 @ JMU Oct. 8 @ Towson Oct. 22 Maine Oct. 29 UMass. Nov. 5 @ ODU Nov. 12 @ Delaware Nov. 19 Wm & Mary No Villanova? How'd we pull that one off? Good job getting 6 home gam...

I also don't understand the reluctance to play AE. It's almost as though Fox has conceded defeat -- too bad, I think he's a good coach.

But on another note, congrats to Josh Vaughn on his first NFL TD! I'm sure both Flacco and AE remember that guy.

Several of these teams could drop out of the top 25 with losses. Doubtful given the level of competition they are playing. But we can't assume this week's top 25 will look like next week's. I think if all of these teams are at 6 wins, SC State and Jacksonville will get the bids. IMO, strength of sch...

Our trophy sucks comparatively to cool stuff life mountain jugs and muskets http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/rich/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/5965494.jpeg The Capital Cup, which replaces the I-64 Trophy, reflects the historical significance of the cities of Williamsburg and Richmond as the last ...

Thoughts? Who wins?

But...but...the BCS conferences play much harder schedules than Boise St. and TCU.

I haven't paid attention to the polls, but I know that in the game notes JMU @ UR JMU was #22 and UR #20 in whatever the heck poll the game notes was quoting. Now if #22 is @ #20 and IF the polls are correct then #22 should should lose a close one (esp considering that on the road is -4.5). That is...

I just put the four possible 7-4 CAA teams in a "mini-conference." Here are the standings (this, of course, assumes that UR wins): William and Mary - 2-1 (tops by virtue of their win against UNH) UNH - 2-1 Villanova 1-2 (third by virtue of their win against UR) UR 1-2 What does this mean?...

I want to know why W&M isn't on this list. After all, if UR goes 7-4, W&M must go 7-4. Because they're not a bubble team...they're already in. So finishing 7-4 by dropping 3 of your last 4 is a lock, but finishing 7-4 by winning your last 3 is a bubble team? I'm not trying to be difficult -...

It should be real interesting in who they choose to give the seed to, or who they give a higher seed to (I could see both EWU and MSU getting a seed if both win this weekend). This is the way I see it. http://s3.postimage.org/2dxj2s96s/EWU_MSU.jpg Richmond has six wins. Please post a picture of you...

2. Richmond (7-4 with a win this week) <-played tough OOC schedule, only CAA south team among possible playoff CAA south teams that had to play Rhody, UNH, and UMass from the north W&M played all three as well, plus Maine. I want to know why W&M isn't on this list. After all, if UR goes 7-4...

It's very rare for a 3-loss team to get a seed. I know there's more parity now, but I think there will be enough teams with 2 or fewer losses that an 8-3 W&M gets a bye, not a seed.

Enjoy!

I guess we missed our stop.

Um, until this weekend they had a losing record against D-1 competition. Some people don't like to rank teams with losing records. That's funny, because there are definitely times in the season when teams with losing records are ranked, specifically early on in the season. (Which is why it makes no...

Richmond and James Madison were both 4-4 and ranked in the Coaches Poll last week. Why?

There's a difference between a losing record and a .500 record?
